When we lived in the desert we would frequent this Antique Mall. We live in Washington now. We make a point in trying to stop at our favorite Antique shop when we're down in the desert. Always nice pieces that we like there. Great people behind the counter. They take good care of your breakables. We were down there just before Christmas and stopped in... found some great stuff to buy including this heavy bedspread. When we got back to Washington we could not find it in any of the stuff we brought back with us. My wife was very upset. We both thought we had put it in the car. Several days later I contacted Carriage House. They had expected our call. They had the bedspread waiting for us. They gladly shipped it to us. I opened it and they even put a Bow in the box. Happily a gold bow... the color for our Christmas Tree theme this year... they went way beyond for us. We will always stop when we are down in Cali. Funny thing was... we had all talked about customers that forget there packages......

Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy sister and I have a common interest in antiques so when visiting her she asked if I would like to go antique shopping. She took me to The Carriage House and upon browsing I happened upon a lamp that I really liked. I purchased it (All Sales Final, of course), for a none to thrifty a price yet still all too happy to have. When I unwrapped it at home, much to my dismay (putting it mildly) on the underside was an all too familiar stamp not usually associated with antiques, Made in China!!!
Am I supposed to believe that antiques had pre-made stamps originating in China? Just a cautionary statement to look before purchasing an "antique" from this...
